The Skating Club of Southern New England, based out of Aleixo Arena in Taunton, recently competed in the 2012 Bay State Games held in Williamstown.

The competition last month featured 800 athletes competing in figure skating, ice hockey and alpine skiing, from age 8 through 65, representing more than 200 cities and towns in Massachusetts.

“It was fabulous,” said Skating Club of Southern New England Club President Gail Green. “All the skaters had a wonderful time. They wind up spending the weekend out there with their families. It becomes a family weekend along with them competing in figure skating.”

Those that earn a medal at the Bay State Games earn the right to go on and compete in the State Games of America, which is held every two years, in the summer of 2013 in Harrisburg, Penn., Green said.

Participating in the Bay State Games Figure Skating Show was Ashley Roque, a professional figure skating coach and competitor. Roque, a Berkley native, is in her fourth season as a Boston Bruins Ice Girl.

Also in The Bay State Games Figure Skating Show was Lily Green, who was the 2009 Little New England Champion. Green has been coached by Roque for 8 years.

The Skating Club of Southern New England is holding their 27th annual ice show on April 28 at 7 p.m. and April 29 at 2 p.m. at the Aleixo Arena.
